This November the Graveyard Shift celebrates beer, broads and bats with FROM DUSK TILL DAWN

This November, the Graveyard Shift is celebrating the non-TWILIGHT vampire. You know the ones. They sport actual fangs and don’t just glisten in the sunlight — they blow up. On Saturday, November 19, the Alamo Drafthouse proudly presents a night of badasses, broads, beer and bats – all for only $7.

This November, the Graveyard Shift is celebrating the non-TWILIGHT vampire. You know the ones. They sport actual fangs and don’t just glisten in the sunlight — they blow up. On Saturday, November 19, the Alamo Drafthouse proudly presents a night of badasses, broads, beer and bats – all for only $7.

Things get started at 10 PM with a screening of the award-winning short film THE LEGEND OF BEAVER DAM. A horror musical short film by Jerome Sable & Eli Batalion, THE LEGEND OF BEAVER DAM celebrates the campfire story in a full-octane rock ‘n’ roll deathcoaster featuring monsters, nerds and a whole heaping supply of blood. The film has played at Austin’s Fantastic Fest, the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival. Trust us when we say you do not want to miss its Houston premiere.

Following THE LEGEND OF BEAVER DAM, we’ll get the main show kicked off with FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s tribute to creature features of yore. George Clooney and Tarantino star as two brothers on the run from the law. After taking a family hostage, they find themselves killing time in the worst possible choice of Mexican bars — one that happens to be full to the brim with bloodsuckers from hell. Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis co-star in this hilariously violent special effects monsterpiece. If you love exploding vampires, Tom Savini with a crotch gun or Cheech Marin with a Mexi-mullet, you’ll love FROM DUSK TILL DAWN.

Thanks our friends at Real Ale Brewery, the night will somehow manage to be even badass-ier. Every ticket purchased for the screening will come with a frosty treat from Real Ale! To get this bonus drink, you must be 21 or older — of course.

Don’t miss this night of non-stop bloodsucking vampire madness. It’s time to fight back against the nos-faux-ratu of the world like Robert Paterson. If anybody asks, just tell them you’re Team Tarantino.
